Dec.26- China will ban almost 600 additional items from the processing trade in a bid to curb¹ exports of low value-added products and lift businesses up the industrial chain.

Exports of 589 items will be banned in order to stop processing firms from importing raw materials and re-exporting finished products duty-free, according to a new Prohibited List for Processing Trade released on Monday by the Ministry² of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs.

Some steel, petrochemical, aluminum³ and mineral products are among the list which will take effect from January 21, bringing the total number of prohibited items to 1,729.

The new blacklist follows a similar one in April this year, which banned processing trade of fuel oil and heavy diesel⁴ as well as some metals.

Given most items in the new ban are primary goods, the move aims to curb exports with low added value and low-end technologies, the commerce ministry said in a statement.

The ministry said it anticipates the ban will spur processing enterprises to develop into sectors⁵ with higher technologies and add more value to their finished products.

The list shows that the government is highlighting the protection of resources, too, said Mei Xinyu, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, a think tank affiliated⁶ to the commerce ministry.

He described the new list as "environment-oriented", as it contains items made from endangered animals or plants.

Many also entail⁷ polluting and energy-intensive chemical and steel products.

China previously⁸ encouraged processing as part of its export-led growth policy. But it is now trying to limit export industries that are energy-intensive, heavily polluting, or likely to cause trade frictions⁹ with other countries.

Processing trade increased 18.7 percent year-on-year to $894.6 billion in the first 11 months, accounting¹⁰ for nearly half of the country's total imports and exports. It is also a major source of China's widening trade surplus.
